Costas Christofidelis stressed that the men’s national volleyball must keep the positives from the matches with Latvia and Finland, with the exception of the same victims over these opponents, stood in discipline, reaction and quality, asking for more and more concentration, Congratulations to his players on mentality and team spirit.
In detail:
To overturn again from 1-0 sets as in Latvia: “I see the half -empty glass, why should we have the lack of energy and concentration in the beginnings and lose the sets as we lost them? Both in the set with the Latvians and today’s set we made effortless mistakes. Nevertheless, what we keep is positive, both in Latvia and – most importantly – here. We keep the reaction, the quality of athletes and their ability to return to our original plan with concentration and discipline. ”
For 5X5: “Qualifying in the Final-4 is not an end in itself, if it comes to come. Tomorrow, we are called upon within 15 hours to give another match, another paradox of this event. So far we have “5×5”, we all want tomorrow’s match. We have a team ahead of us that is not where it should, but have faced high -level teams. It will be another match that will test our potential, it is a challenge for us within 15 hours to be able to cope, mainly spiritually. But I am optimistic that we will do what we need.
I want to congratulate all the kids, I had said from the beginning that we are all playing for everyone. Volleyball is the most team sport and our team is properly. I have also told the children that there is no ‘ceiling’, especially in the part of the mentality. For us. The bench is the most important ‘pillar’ for any team, let alone for the National. There are no basic and substitutes in the National, all children have lead roles in their clubs and that’s why they are here. Beyond that, discipline, personal and teamwork, is needed to accept an athlete that he will sit on the bench in a game or a set and be able to help for a point, a serve, a reception or a set. “
